I also have WisprNote on the app store for MacOS. Slightly different, just for doing voice memos and other files.

I predict someone will comment: why not just use the large model on OpenAI api? Indeed you can! Large model is the best. However, it does not do live transcription, and it is not totally private, which you can do with offline app.

My WisrpNote does not yet have live! Although I've prototyped it, been busy with other projects! It's on the list! I hope yours has live.

I see you are going a paid model, does that mean that it is a subscription using OpenAI API or just paying for the download and utilization of these larger models essentially, even tho they run offline?

Anyway, WisprNote is Powered by Wispr models from OpenAI using the ggml work on GitHub from ggreganov!

Totally agree that MacOS has crap dictation! So is the Google dictation! And the iPhone dictation!
